Whether your films are Oscar-worthy, like The shape of the wateror your more blockbuster fare, like hell boy or Pacific RimGuillermo Del Toro is a director we should always watch. . It's always exciting to see your new films; however, Del Toro has had several films announced that were not made, and many of them broke my heart as a Del Toro fan.
From him Justice League Dark film was one of my most anticipated films from the DC team, especially when I look back on their work for hell boy. Del Toro Hobbit It's something some fans still want to happen, how he was set to direct The Lord of the Rings' prequel before Peter Jackson took on the project. However, Del Toro's version Pacific Rim 2 leaves some wanting this instead of Steven S. DeKnight Pacific Rim: Uprising, which disappointed many in theaters.
Guillermo Del Toro not directing Pacific Rim 2 still hurts 6 years after the riot
Pacific Rim is much more than giant robots fighting giant monsters
Pacific Rim offers everything you could want from a movie about robots fighting monsters. On the action front, Pacific Rim fires on all cylinders and finds unique ways to use the jaegers. The designs are larger than life and distinct from each other. Pacific Rim It's a spectaclewith complex sets and inspiring camerawork. This film also takes time to develop a solid size ensemble, giving us a wide variety of characters and relationships to invest in. Mako Mori, for example, has become an important female figure in action films, as seen in Pacific Rim Mako Mori test.
Del Toro killed with Pacific RimSo when it was revealed that he would no longer be directing the sequel, it was disappointing. Even knowing why Guillermo Del Toro didn't direct Pacific Rim 2 – go to the cinema The shape of the water – does not lessen the disappointment. Then Pacific Rim: Uprising left, and this disappointment grew even more.
Pacific Rim: Uprising couldn't have been more different from Del Toro's film

Where the first Pacific Rim has different fights, kaiju and jeagers, the second seems repetitive, as if the monsters and robots were generic action figures being thrown around. The new characters and relationships are not developed enougheliminating the humanity streak that the first film had. In addition, beloved characters from the first Pacific Rimlike Raleigh Becket, are missing Revolt, they are either killed or reduced to cartoon versions of themselves.
Pacific Rim: Uprising could have been great. It has a new cast of characters and is led by Boyega, who brings a ridiculous charisma to the film. However, It lacks the style and substance of the first Pacific Rim. At least fans can hope for the best, as the Pacific Rim Universe expands with a new prequel show.
